GMOA warns of yet another token strike on Monday

By Kalathma Jayawardhane
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) yesterday warned it would resort to a countrywide token strike on Monday over several demands including Wednesday’s teargassing of protesting university students.

GMOA media spokesman Samantha Ananda told Daily Mirror that they would stop work from 8.00 am to 12.00 noon.

“No arrest have been made in connection the grenade attack on the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) and no legal action has taken against former SAITM CEO Sameera Senaratne,” he said.

Dr. Ananda said they were also protesting against government moves to suppress trade union leaders.
